The Promised Land

A Novel of Cape Breton

In 1970, a group of Hippies crosses the Canso Causeway to begin a new 'back-to-the-land' life in Cape Breton. They are not unlike the original Scottish immigrants of the 1800's, but with fewer bibles and more dope. Then, forty years later, a young Ellen Coulter takes up her first doctoring job at a small clinic in Baddeck, and gradually settles in to life in the little village.
